[The author’s note in the text] Catalogus numorum veterum Græcorum et Romanorum quos olim possidebat Nicolaus Abildgaard … die XXVII octobris A. MDCCCXVII sub hasta vendendos (Hauniae). In a letter from 1776 Abildgaard’s collection of antique coins is mentioned. See Victor Hermansen, ’Fra Kunstkammer til Antik-Kabinet’, Antik-Cabinettet 1851 (Copenhagen 1951), p. 44.
